You've got to remember that these QBPs only set minimum standards for vehicles - an operator can add as many features as they like over and above that minimum.

Delivery will be late October.

Although I have the August Bank Holiday in mind for Liverpool & Birkenhead, I am considering postponing until Christmas! This would enable me to combine some Sunday variations with Gold route 1. (To digress, the reduction in trains from Manchester to Liverpool on the August Bank Holiday due to engineering works at Oxford Road may help me postpone too).

17066 is destined for Stagecoach South West and the former First Plymouth operation after repaint at Rock Ferry.

After my festive flirtation last week, I have now committed to coming to Liverpool on the August Bank Holiday after all. I can ride a Gold route 1 at the Chester end early on, possibly at Christmas.

Saw Gillmoss based Dart 34804 parked in Rock Ferrys yard today, Also noticed 21121 parked up missing a couple of pannels as well, Another one dead?

RE: Stagecoach Chester & Wirral
21121 had just been towed in with an air dryer problem, it'll most likely be fixed, 21122 has just been 're motd!!

34804 is here for some sort of engine / exhaust system conversion which a number of others have already undergone.
